Yes: Divis, Euerle, Kussmaul, Lime, Shuman, Wilson, Zacharias, Boyd, Casselberry. No: None; Resolution No. 87-24 is adopted. Haley Markey – Stated the following: I would first like to thank Mrs. Saban and Councilwoman Zacharias for helping to make this all happen. I would also like to speak on the importance of bringing awareness to albinism. Albinism is a hereditary condition that causes people to have little to no melanin in their hair, skin and eyes resulting in a lighter than expected coloring. Albinism also causes many vision problems. I have a child with oculorutaneous albinism. This affects his hair, skin and eyes. He is 2 years old but was diagnosed when he was 3 months old. Since then, we have been to numerous doctors to help with his problems that come with albinism. He sees his regular pediatrician, dermatologist and also sees an eye doctor every couple of weeks. Even with what people consider setbacks, her son has been the most happy, hearted child through all of this. Some other challenges they have had is having to patch her son’s eyes daily and he also wears glasses. When ever they go outside they have to make sure that every inch of his body is covered with sunscreen. Even on a cloudy, cool and rainy day there is still some UV outside that could harm his skin. It is so important to bring awareness about albinism because many people don’t fully understand the extent of the challenges that a person with albinism has to face. A few things to think about is that her son doesn’t get to open the door to play outside. He doesn’t get to be like a typical child and play all day in the son without a hat or having to constantly stop to get more sunscreen on. What he can visually see is still the unknown until he can communicate what he can see. This could be a setback from getting certain jobs that require better eyesight and this may not even allow him to drive a car in the future. Having the condition doesn’t make him sick or unhealthy but it does increase the risk of getting skin cancer in the future. By bringing awareness to albinism, it would show my son and any one else with albinism that they have a strong support system behind them. I am so grateful to live in a city that would recognize albinism awareness day. This is so meaningful to myself, my son and the rest of my family. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ • Council recessed to return to Committee Meetings at 6:56 P.M. • Council reconvened the Council Meeting at 9:17 P.M. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEGISLATIVE COMMENT No one wished to speak. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISPOSAL OF JOURNAL Mr. Dipierro – Stated, you have before you the minutes from the Regular Council Meeting held on May 20, 2024.
